How Good Was Roger Mayweather?

[Shadowboxer]

With the sad news emerging that Roger Mayweather has passed, I thought I would post a thread that I had been pondering for some time.

How good was he?

Obviously the Mayweather name is synonymous with Floyd Jr and his ATG career, but his uncle Roger was a multiple time champ and shared the ring with some great fighters.

What is his best win?

Best performance?

How great is his legacy?

How do you rate him as a trainer?

Let's discuss this mans contributions to the game?

RIP Champ.

Samuel Serrano

Terrence Ali

Once voted hardest puncher in his (140lb) division of all time.

Underrated, as his true specialty was in training novices.

Great fight

His prime was during my earlier years in life/as a fan. I know he was always considered a tough night's work even for the best. He fought Chavez twice, which would be his most notable bouts in my mind.

As a trainer, I think we was great. He knew the technical side of the game, emphasized defense, but not to the point he forgot the purpose is to knock the shit out of a guy.

Great fight

Roger and Miguel Diaz told me what happened after this fight (which took just about everything out of both contestants). Roger had a some trim lined up and after his training abstinence, was ‘bursting for a shag’ (as Mat puts it).

His trainer and cornermen all begged him to seek medical attention and rest but Roger, stubborn and randy as they come wouldn’t hear a word. On his way to shag, Roger blacked out behind the wheel, smashed head-first through the windshield while totaling his BMW and sailed through the air, landing in a heap in the dirt still unconscious but completely unharmed.

Doyen level.

Never quite made the starlight, but could lubricate the ring with the best of them.

World class.His second performance v Chavez is quite admirable.

i reckon he cud have been much more than he was if he had a better chin.Out of all the Mayweathers,he hit the hardest.
